Inlet device - brand name or description?-sm - je suis MT


Posted: May 31, 2010

"All 12 mm port sites were closed with the inlet device, using figure‑of‑eight 0 Vicryl stitches. "

It's resection of a colon tumor and anastomosis using the da Vinci.  I've heard this before but can't find a definite answer:  Is it the "Inlet (brand) device" or "inlet (descriptor) device"? 

Thanks.

I did find the brand name device. sm - Txczech
